one of those days
you know how sometimes your kid won't stop asking for graham crackers even after you've said "no" like a billion times and you are afraid that the next time she asks for graham crackers your head is going to explode?
i hate those days.
i hate those days.

19 flattering compliments:
While I've never technically had one of those begging-for-graham-crackers day, I can definitely identify. And commiserate. (Bosses and TPS reports, you know...)
I hope she gives it a rest before you blow.
i just typed out a long comment about how you should basically say "take this graham cracker and shove it" to show her the ways of the world.
and now i feel like a big jerk.
You should send all your graham crackers to me (then there is nothing for them to ask for and I get graham crackers--so everybody wins).
except for the kid. she loses.
No, the kid learns an important lesson about nothing good coming from begging and being a pest.
And James gets graham crackers.
So everybody DOES win!
I understand.
I might have told my toddler to "shove it" just recently...ok maybe not in those very words...but I would not have won a Mommy prize for what I did say.
Crap.
um, can i have some graham crackers?
i just want to know what Jess said....
You could make the child eat the whole box of graham crackers like my dad did with cigarettes...that would turn child off them really fast.
Of course it didn't work with me, I still ended up smoking, but in theory...it should work.
Or not.
I would have told you what I said, 'cause I bet it would sound funny now, but I can't seem to remember.
hmmmmmmmm wouldn't it just be easier to give the female spawn a couple graham crackers??? I dunno, just wondering
-yer dad
As someone who has NEEDED caramel corn before, and thown a HUGE tantrum until my husband offered to go out and buy me some (just to get me to shut up even tho it was like 11:00 pm), I say to give her the freaking crackers. I mean, she'll be DAMAGED if you don't give in. DAMAGED. As I clearly am DAMAGED and it is all due to not getting caramel corn RIGHT NOW.
(that has to be it, right?)
(my damage is due to the lack of caramel corn)
(seriously.)
Be strong (and send James your Graham crackers). No means NO! If you give in this time, you'll just get nagged aqny time she wants something that you won't or can't give; you know you hate being nagged, so don't give in, or we'll all nag you until you decide not to give in.
you would say something like that, RebeccaMarie'sDad... wouldn't you... No... seriously... Grandpas are contractually obligated to give kids things their parents have told them they can't have. It's one of the laws of nature.
Jess.... remember that 2 weeks when a baby WASN'T eatting your brain? That was nice.
oh yeah....
you look like you've lost weight.
petri... you just made me hysterical.
all i could see in my mind was vicki darnell. i REALLY hope that's what you were going for
SHUT UP SHATZI!!!
(hee hee)
My child isn't exactly saying words asking for graham crackers, but for the boob is more like it.. and loud histerical crying is the words that I hear every three hours.. Oh, motherhood is so much fun. But, then when she is happy and smiles at me, it is all well worth the cries.
